CEO Column | Why Do 90% of People Use AI Yet Lack Competitiveness? You Lack AI Fluency
AI fluency does not mean knowing how to open ChatGPT, copying a few prompts, or following the crowd in using a few AI tools. Real AI fluency is a person’s “new language ability” in the AI era. Just as English fluency once determined whether a person could enter the international market, AI fluency in the future will determine whether a person can enter high-efficiency, high-output, highly competitive workplaces.
1. AI Fluency Is the Basic Language of the Future Workplace
For the past twenty years, computer skills were the baseline: knowing Word, Excel, presentations and email was basic workplace competence. Over the next decade, AI fluency will become the new baseline — not because everyone must become an AI engineer, but because everyone will begin to collaborate with AI.
Bosses need to use AI to break down business models.
Managers need to use AI to design processes.
Salespeople need to use AI to produce proposals.
Marketers need to use AI to create content and ad assets.
Teachers need to use AI to design courses.
Consultants need to use AI to organize knowledge and deliver results.
Entrepreneurs need to use AI to build an MVP quickly.
So AI fluency is not the preserve of technical people; it will become the admission ticket for all knowledge workers, entrepreneurs and managers.
2. AI Fluency Is Not “Knowing How to Ask Questions” but “Knowing How to Assign Tasks”
Many people think they can use AI, but in fact they only know how to ask questions. Real AI fluency is not asking: “Write me an article.” “Make me a plan.” “Design me a website.” It is being able to define the task clearly: whom do I serve? What pain point do I solve? What format do I produce? What business goal do I want to achieve? What constraints do I have? By what standard will I check the result? If the answer is wrong, how will I correct it? That is AI fluency — not throwing a question at AI and being led around by the answer, but standing in the leading position and making AI your execution team.
3. The Core of AI Fluency Is “Judgment”
The most dangerous people in the future are not those who can’t use AI, but those who think everything AI says is right. AI can help you write copy, build spreadsheets, generate code, analyze data and design products, but it can also make mistakes, fabricate, be overconfident and ignore context. So the truly valuable ability is not mere output speed but whether you can judge: does this answer make logical sense? Does this data have a source? Can this feature actually be deployed? Does this content have business value? Does this plan carry risk? Can this result be taken out to meet a client? The highest level of AI fluency is not using AI but mastering AI.
4. Vibe Coding Is the Hands-On Entry Point to AI Fluency
The value of Vibe Coding is not turning everyone into an engineer; what is truly important is that it lets you start learning to use AI to turn ideas into executable results. You will begin to understand: a website is not completed by a single line of “build me a website.” A system is not deployed by a single line of “build me a platform.” A tool is not commercialized by a single line of “automate this for me.” You must learn to describe needs, break down processes, design features, check outputs, fix errors and iterate repeatedly. Together these abilities are AI fluency. So although the course is, on the surface, Vibe Coding, underneath it is training a person in how to collaborate with AI to complete something truly useful.
5. A Summary from CEO Yang’s Perspective
The most valuable people ten years from now will not necessarily be the best coders, but those who can turn vague ideas into clear tasks, turn business needs into AI instructions and turn AI outputs into verifiable results. That ability is called AI fluency. It is not showmanship, not a list of tools, not a collection of prompts, not chasing new software every day; it is a new working language and a new survival skill. The competition of the future is not “can you use AI,” but “can you use AI to produce results.”
This is the real value of the “Vibe Coding All-Round Practical Course.” It does not teach you to become an engineer; it teaches you to become a person with AI fluency — and such people will be the most valuable people of the next decade.
